Steve McQueen’s Mustang GT 390

One of the biggest Mustang legends is the Bullitt movie car. In 1968, the legendary actor Steve McQueen starred in the detective flick, Bullitt. He played a detective who drove a mean-looking 1968 GT390 Fastback. They used two cars were used during the shooting, destroying one and using the other for close-ups and promotional shoots. Steve McQueen drove and modified it, preserving it well.

They sold the second car and it had several owners. The car finally settled on the East Coast of the US in the hands of a private owner who wants to remain anonymous. They are fully aware of the importance of this particular car. The owner doesn’t want to sell it, but when this car eventually makes its way to the auction block, it will be the most expensive Mustang in the world with a price that will break any previous records. The original Bullitt car was eventually used by Ford in promotional purposes in promoting the 2018 Mustang at the Detroit Auto Show. This means Ford managed to track down the owner and persuade him to let the automaker display the original 1968 Bullitt next to the 2018 Bullitt special edition Mustang as the best way to mark the car’s 50th anniversary.
